Jeremy Hartwell filed a lawsuit against Netflix, Kinetic Content and Delirium TV, the production company and casting company behind the show 'Love is blin', for a number of labor-law violations, including 'inhumane working conditions' and inadequate pay for the amount of hours cast members worked.

Reality TV started for Jeremy Hartwell, a director at a mortgage company in Chicago, with a direct message on a dating app.

Hartwell says he agreed to appear on the show after checking the agent's Instagram account and their job. "When filming started, the flight was very, very early for [a few of] us and I believe that was to separate the men and the women, so that we wouldn't see each other," he says, adding that things turned "uncomfortable" almost "immediately."

"They went through all of our baggage -- if you've ever seen a military movie, a boot camp, where they just go through the recruit's baggage, but that's exactly what it was like. They went through every single one of our personal belongings, presumably to make sure we didn't have some sort of contraband.""We were basically locked in the room," he says. "The very first thing they did was isolate us in our rooms for about 24 hours straight.

In June, Hartwell filed a lawsuit against Netflix, Kinetic Content and Delirium TV, the production company and casting company behind the show, for a number of labor-law violations, including "inhumane working conditions" and inadequate pay for the amount of hours cast members worked.In a statement to CNN in response to Hartwell's complaint, Kinetic Content and Delirium TV wrote: "Mr. Hartwell's involvement in Season 2 of 'Love is Blind' lasted less than one week.

Only LOSERS would appear on this type of show or watch it

Well ya! Would be boring af if they were sober, full of grub and wide awake

Forced? Hahahahahahaha

So? Their choice

“Forced”!!! What a load of crap. Forced would mean you were held down and alcohol was poured down your throat. They could leave at anytime, if not this article would be about being held without their will. Seems to me he is pissed because he got kicked out early🤪👍

Obviously, they've never been married

'Show that tries to exploit people to entertain folks who like that sort of thing is accused of exploiting people.'

Did they select nightmare mode, i.e., love is blind, drunk, hungry, and sleep-deprived?

So… normal dating in your late 20s

Sounds a bit like Squid Game without the mass murders.

now... show pictures of the producers...holding guns to their heads..truth is just as stupid as your reporters..supposed to say

Drunk hungry and sleep deprived sounds like good old style oilfield work 😂

So why not leave if it was so bad?

Forced or encouraged? There’s a difference. No sympathy here.
